Live music, Singing and Honoured Guest Josephine Wise

Over the 9 years that Planet Egypt hosted monthly shows many of our dancers and a significant amount of our stars, have been trained by Josephine Wise and are exponents of her discipline (JWAAD). Moreover many of her students, Teachers and Competition winners, are members of our audience so it feels appropriate to honour her and her contribution in this way. As usual we will feature a variety of performances in terms of discipline and style to reflect our usual artistic signature

She is also a member of the dance collaboration Ahnémon and feels   truly blessed to be able experiment and create unique performances with her fellow Ahnémoniacs.

And

Theresa White
My twin, has lived in Saudi Arabia (and also Libya). She was active in the Saudi Community and as a result her khaleegy is very much the real thing. She speaks fluent arabic too and is well versed in Arab and Muslim Tradition and practice. An engimatic and charisimatic performer she has loads of moves to enthrall you and a spirit to match.

Anne White
Oh I DO love live music and I could not resist it... The Band leader Emad is amazing and just entices me .... Years ago I worked on the Arab Wedding and party scene. I spent many a night in some of the clubs too. Most notably Cave de Roi (sadly now closed). Its such a blessing to have Good Musicians, and I want to do everything I can to enable them to continue their Artistry and to encourage our Community to experience the nirvana of dancing to live music
